3 out of 5 stars (Average) The Hapytime Murders is by far the most heavily mismarketed film of 2018.

I completely disagree with those criticisms and believe the film actually improves… Continue Reading

If you enjoyed the other two and want one last hurrah with the Bellas, then you should embrace your inner completionist and… Continue Reading
